Not to hi-jack the thread, but had to let Keith know that I really liked the song he has a link to in his signature line...joining in the prayers...

For example, both woods can be built to be balanced and responsive guitars; but Pernambuco in my experience (mine is a Sexauer) does not impart the signature euphonic low-end rumble, harmonics, high frequency ringing overtones and sustain but in contrast a balanced fundamental tonic clarity infused with sustaining, choir-like harmonizing overtones.

Are you an economist or a politician? :-)

#1476.........first serial number of the year:

see mine on Jim's website.....3rd one down.....#1476

I have #1327 and it was the best guitar I had ever played, amazing feel and crystal clear across the entire spectrum. Played it against dozens of other high end guitars of friends on AGF. We all chose #1327 as being superior to every guitar.

Then, #1476 arrived the day before Thanksgiving. Oh my, oh my. Jim said the woods were very special in every regard and he was spot on correct. This instrument is sublime. Oh my, oh my. And it looks ok too! LOL

Enjoy!

Thanks Billy.

The full story is on the youtube video linked below..... Jackie Faircloth, and 18 year old from my hometown was in a hit and run accident and was left with a traumatic brain injury....and has since been moved to the Shepard Center in Atlanta for intense therapy work. She was initially in a medically induced coma and was eventually taken off the medications. She is moving her hands and feet and has started to open her eyes a little, and to track voices with them. And was lifting a finger on command and a few thumbs up to a therapist. Jackie has a long patient road to recovery and please keep all the positive prayers coming.

It was a very rough production draft of the song we threw together with a video pictorial that celebrates her and our community's support.
